otl'HEci liquors
When it is necessary to refill a cask
which has been used once for CIDER,
take a rag or stick which has been
d pped in melted birthstone and allow
il to burn inside the barrel, SO that the
fumes of the burning birthstone may
penetrate TO all parts of the interior.
This may be best accomplished by plac-
ing the barrel upon one end and put
ting the burning match into the bung,
and in minute or two reverse the
barrel. Next put in a gallon or so Of
cider, bung up tightly and shake the
barrel well. This not only purilies the
cask but improves the cider. All APP
pies not fiji for cider should be picked

Manzanita Heights.
1t is now settled that large and
magnificent hotel will be built on,

pipes have been laid, and the supply
is abundant for every purpose.
There are four big hotels besides
the one mentioned that will soon be
erected in the valley just below Man
zanita Heights. The Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe have selected the
depot grounds and will build hand
some and commodious passenger de-
pot without any further DELAY. The
Southern Pacific are also alive TO the
situation of affairs, and will have
their railroad depot out there also.
The broad auge railroad running
from Los Angeles to Santa Monica
will pass through the tract.
The dummy line is nearly finished
and will carry passengers from Man
zanita to the center of town for five
cents. The cable lines and the new
motor line are building out toward the
Heights. The lots have advanced 500
to $500 each from original prices.
Messrs. Billings & McGown, 10 North
Spring street, report that at least fifty
new houses will be erected at Manza-
nita Heights. The lots are now SELL
ing from $165 to $3.50 each. The

very desirable location for residences.

Death of Leon Baldwin.

received a dispatch from Mexico, stat
ing that his brother Leon Baldwin haC
been killed by banditti in that country
Mr.. Baldwin was the superintendent
of several silver mines in Mexico, and
was killed while passing from one
mine to another. 1t is stated that two
other men, superintendents of mines
in that vicinity, were waylayed by ban
ditti about that time and obliged to
give up their bullion under pain
of death, and that on delivery
of the bullion were allowed to
go on their way rejoicing. 1t is sup
posed that the same gang waylayed
Mr.. Baldwin and as he was brave
and fearless man and would not de-
liver the treasure in his charge that
the villains took his life first and his
bullion afterwards. The news will be
very sad to the old friends of Leon in
Los Angeles who knew him when his
home was on the Los Feliz rancho,
and also to his many friends in Ne
vada, where he was well known on
the Comstock. Gen. Baldwin will
have the sympathy of the community
in this sad and terrible bereavement.

A Masked Feature of the silver
Question.

The British Indian Government re-
ceives it's entire revenue in silver
and has no other form of money that
it can employ in disbursements and
for domestic expenditure. In pay
ment of all salaries in India, and for
labor or supplies OF all descriptions
found upon Indian home territory, the
rupee is entirely adequate, or as effi-
cient as it ever wasl But the Indian
Government owes and has to pay every
year large sums to or through the
British Government in Europe. These
payments are called "home charges. )"
They comprise not only pensions but
all the military supplies that have 10
be sent from the british arsenals, and
they have come to range annually from
$50, ,0O0, 900 to $40 900 900. These home
charges are paid, of course. by the
British Government in gold and, were
the Indian Government obliged to re-
paw the amount in metal, they
would have to exchange or sell
silver at the European market value
to raise the requisite amount of gold.
Of course, the Indian Government
does not send specie to Europe, but
have devised process of this char
acter: The British Government draw
bills upon the Indian Government
payable in silver, which are sold on
the London Exchange to meet all the
disbursements known as home charges.
1t is to be perceived, however, that as
the rupee purchases in India or is
legal tender there for nearly two shil-
lings, the purchaser of one of these
council drafts or bills paying, as at
present, less than one shilling and
sixpence for the rupee, in effect, pays
off debt in India of thousand
dollars, for example, with seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
in gold in London, while there
by also saving all the expense and
charges of transmitting the money.
In other WORDS, any English merchant
wishing to import cargo of Indian
wheat, by merely purchasing and re-
mitting one or more OF these council
drafts at present rates, he enters the
Indian wheat market with, say, 10000
rupees that will purchase as much
wheat as that sum of rupees would
ever do in India-and which really
cost in London $4,000 rupees, or 25
per cent. below the value at which
they are used in India!
In this way, or by means of these
Indian council drafts, the larger part
of the products of India which are
exported to Europe, annually, to so
large an extent, are paid for, rather
than by silver which was former
ly used almost exclusively in the
settlement OF trade balances. Hence,
radically, the effect is the same
upon the price of silver bullion as ii
the amount OF silver produced by the
mines had been increased yearly as
much as the sum total of these same
council drafts.
Herein is one of the most potential
causes, plainly, of the steady depre-
citation of silver in London. That is
to say, it is not the amount of silver
bullion which is won every year from
the mines of North aud South Amer
ica, that has led to the depreciation of
silver bullion in London, but the
yearly selling in London of a species
of silver certificate issued by the Brit
ish Government, to meet the increas-
ing expenditures, especially in con-
nection with the building of railroads.

A Good Example to Follow.

There were just nineteen voters in
Los Angeles who placed themselves

southern metropolis has been as badly
provided with school facilities as has

were given a voice in the matter, the

weeks the citizens OF this city will be
called upon to decide whether or not

to be issued to provide accommoda-
